Satellite Radio Recording and Time Trax
Article by Helen Bloodwell
MP3 satellite radio recording has changed the way we listen
to music. Time is no longer a restraining factor! With satellite
radio recording we can get what we want and listen when we want!
There are iPods and iTunes and then there is the radio. Internet
radio introduced us to the idea of commercial-free radio, so it
seemed an inevitable marriage for MP3 technology and satellite
radio technology.
Now, you may be wondering how to get the most out of your various
devices. For example, what if there's a radio program you really
like and want to record? Or what if there's a show you really
want to listen to but it's playing at 3am and you have to work
the next morning? Time Trax software and hardware brings the
befuddled music lover the perfect solution!
While you can plug your satellite radio into your car, home stereo
or in some cases your computer, you won't be able to effectively
transfer individual songs or hours of broadcast back to your computer.
However, Time Trax has come to the rescue for subscribers who
own XM PCR, MX Direct and Sirius Connect (models SIR-KEN1, SIR-JVC1,
SIR-PNR1, and SIR-ALP1) MP3 satellite radio receivers! The ground-breaking
docking stations debuted in 2005, but having received no particular
endorsements from Sirius or XM, have remained relatively in the
shadows, as a Tech Blogger's dream come true.
Sure, you can purchase MP3 satellite radios directly from Sirius
Radio or XM Radio that can capture streaming radio and save it
onto your portable radio for later listening. For instance, XM's
Samsung Nexus, the Sirius S50 or the Dell DJ MP3 satellite radio
will store up to 50 hours of time-shifted content and record your
favorite shows. However, the shortcoming is that the contents are
only available on that particular device.
What will you need
to get started with Time Trax? First, you'll obviously need your
MP3 satellite radio and a subscription to either Sirius or XM,
or simply an online satellite radio subscription. If you just
want to record satellite radio off the internet and convert it
to MP3 format for your iPod, you can choose to download the software
for $49. The other option is for people who want to record from
their satellite receivers.
These Sirius or XM subscribers can purchase
the Time Trax Complete package for $169.99, which includes
a small adapter, a satellite radio receiver, a USB cable, a stereo
adapter cable and an AC power adapter. It's actually quite simple
when you really look at the configuration - the USB cable connects
from the Time Trax adapter to your computer and the other included
cable connects the Time Trax adapter to your Sirius or XM receiver.
Check out TimeTraxTech.com for more information. There has been
some speculation about the viability of this innovation over time.
MP3 satellite radio sales have diminished slightly from the introduction
of Time Trax software. As a result, XM Radio has taken several
steps to shut down Time Trax's operation, as it interferes with
their exclusive Napster contract and some of their product sales
(notably the portable satellite radios that compete against iPods).
Despite ongoing threats, Time Trax developer Elliott Fruitkin continues
to create new technology to help the average user problem solve.
MP3 Music Players were still new to the world when I bought my
first one. They were not very common and my friends thought I was
from NASA because they never saw anything like them. Me, I liked
to listen to audio books from authors such as Wayne Dyer and MP3
players were small and convenient and held digital files I could
take from my computer and put on the player itself and bring with
me anywhere.
While they were still expensive back then, they were a great help
in making my life simpler and easier. I could now listen to my
music anywhere I wanted and bring my audio books with me when I
jogged or went for long walks. I still have my old device but it
is a dinosaur and not used any more. I should probably keep my
old digital MP3 player as it may end up being rare!!!
I have since bought a new MP3 Player - I love it even more than
my first one! It has many great new modern features!
